Owner Comments:
1871 H10C Copper
Judd-1060, Pollock-1195
Rarity: Low R.7, PR66 BN
Struck in copper with a reeded edge.
Obverse: Longacre's popular Seated Indian Princess motif seated on a globe inscribed with LIBERTY with conjoined flags behind and Liberty's hand resting on a globe and a cap on her extended pole. There are no STARS on this design. It is noted that Liberty is wearing a similar headdress as seen on three dollar gold pieces on these designs
Reverse: The reverse has 5 CENTS in the center and is surrounded by a wreath of cotton and corn, the word STANDARD at the top of that side.
Comment:
Per Pollock (1994): 17.6 grains, 0.609 inches, 180 degree die alignment. Marvelous Premium Gem. Well-struck, mark-free surfaces, further emphasized by the starless obverse field creates a light Cameo field-device contrast on the obverse.
